14. PROFESSIONAL ADVICE; BROKER LIABILITY: Broker advises Buyer and Seller to verify Property condition,
square footage, and all other facts and representations made pursuant to this Contract and to consult appropriate
professionals for legal, tax, environmental, and other specialized advice concerning matters affecting the Property
and the transaction contemplated by this Contract. Broker represents to Buyer that Broker does not reside on the
Property and that all representations (oral, written or otherwise) by Broker are based on Seller representations or
public records. BUYER AGREES TO RELY SOLELY ON SELLER, PROFESSIONAL INSPECTORS AND
GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES FOR VERIFICATION OF PROPERTY CONDITION, SQUARE FOOTAGE AND
FACTS THAT MATERIALLY AFFECT PROPERTY VALUE AND NOT ON THE REPRESENTATIONS (ORAL,
WRITTEN OR OTHERWISE) OF BROKER. Buyer and Seller (individually, the "Indemnifying Party") each
individually indemnifies, holds harmless, and releases Broker and Broker’s officers, directors, agents and
employees from all liability for loss or damage, including all costs and expenses, and reasonable attorney’s fees
at all levels, suffered or incurred by Broker and Broker’s officers, directors, agents and employees in connection
with or arising from claims, demands or causes of action instituted by Buyer or Seller based on: (i) inaccuracy of
information provided by the Indemnifying Party or from public records; (ii) Indemnifying Party’s misstatement(s) or
failure to perform contractual obligations; (iii) Broker’s performance, at Indemnifying Party’s request, of any task
beyond the scope of services regulated by Chapter 475, F.S., as amended, including Broker’s referral,
recommendation or retention of any vendor for, or on behalf of Indemnifying Party; (iv) products or services
provided by any such vendor for, or on behalf of, Indemnifying Party; and (v) expenses incurred by any such
vendor. Buyer and Seller each assumes full responsibility for selecting and compensating their respective vendors
and paying their other costs under this Contract whether or not this transaction closes. This Paragraph 14 will not
relieve Broker of statutory obligations under Chapter 475, F.S., as amended. For purposes of this Paragraph 14,
Broker will be treated as a party to this Contract. This Paragraph 14 shall survive Closing or termination of this
Contract.

insurance in the amount of the Purchase Price, shall be issued to Buyer insuring Buyer’s marketable title to the
Real Property, subject only to the following matters: (a) comprehensive land use plans, zoning, and other land
use restrictions, prohibitions and requirements imposed by governmental authority; (b) restrictions and matters

record without right of entry; (d) unplatted public utility easements of record (located contiguous to real property
lines and not more than 10 feet in width as to rear or front lines and 7 1/2 feet in width as to side lines); (e) taxes
for year of Closing and subsequent years; and (f) assumed mortgages and purchase money mortgages, if any (if
additional items, attach addendum); provided, that, none prevent use of Property for RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES.

and Buyer may thereafter contact tenant(s) or occupant(s) to confirm such information. If Estoppel Letter(s) or

simultaneously with such repayment, Buyer shall return the Personal Property, vacate the Real Property and re-
convey the Property to Seller by special warranty deed and bill of sale; and (4) if Buyer fails to make timely

V. .FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN REAL PROPERTY TAX ACT ("FIRPTA"): If a seller of U.S. real property is a
"foreign person" as defined by FIRPTA, Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code requires the buyer of the real
property to withhold 10% of the amount realized by the seller on the transfer and remit the withheld amount to the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) unless an exemption to the required withholding applies or the seller has obtained
a Withholding Certificate from the IRS authorizing a reduced amount of withholding. Due to the complexity and
potential risks of FIRPTA, Buyer and Seller should seek legal and tax advice regarding compliance, particularly if
an "exemption" is claimed on the sale of residential property for $300,000 or less.
528
529
530
531
532
533
534
(i) No withholding is required under Section 1445 if the Seller is not a "foreign person," provided Buyer accepts
proof of same from Seller, which may include Buyer’s receipt of certification of non-foreign status from Seller,
signed under penalties of perjury, stating that Seller is not a foreign person and containing Seller’s name, U.S.
taxpayer identification number and home address (or office address, in the case of an entity), as provided for in
26 CFR 1.1445-2(b). Otherwise, Buyer shall withhold 10% of the amount realized by Seller on the transfer and
timely remit said funds to the IRS.
535
536
537
538
539
540
(ii) .If Seller has received a Withholding Certificate from the IRS which provides for reduced or eliminated
withholding in this transaction and provides same to Buyer by Closing, then Buyer shall withhold the reduced
sum, if any required, and timely remit said funds to the IRS.
541
542
543
(iii) If prior to Closing Seller has submitted a completed application to the IRS for a Withholding Certificate and
has provided to Buyer the notice required by 26 CFR 1.1445-1(c) (2)(i)(B) but no Withholding Certificate has been
received as of Closing, Buyer shall, at Closing, withhold 10% of the amount realized by Seller on the transfer
and, at Buyer’s option, either (a) timely remit the withheld funds to the IRS or (b) place the funds in escrow, at
Seller’s expense, with an escrow agent selected by Buyer and pursuant to terms negotiated by the parties, to be
subsequently disbursed in accordance with the Withholding Certificate issued by the IRS or remitted directly to
the IRS if the Seller’s application is rejected or upon terms set forth in the escrow agreement.

Lead-Based Paint Warning Statement
"Every purchaser of any interest in residential real property on which a residential dwelling was built prior to 1978 is notified that
such property may present exposure to lead from lead-based paint that may place young children at risk of developing lead
poisoning. Lead poisoning in young children may produce permanent neurological damage, including learning disabilities,
reduced intelligence quotient, behavioral problems, and impaired memory. Lead poisoning also poses a particular risk to
pregnant women. The seller of any interest in residential real property is required to provide the buyer with any information on
lead-based paint hazards from risk assessments or inspection in the seller's possession and notify the buyer of any known lead-
based paint hazards. A risk assessment or inspection for possible lead-based paint hazards is recommended prior to purchase."
